Rock and Roll Christmas: London Rock Archive Photo Galleries

This Christmas season, why not take in something a little different during your Christmas sightseeing and shopping trips in London? Rockarchive's London galleries will be stocking a selection of gifts to meet the budget of all rock fans. For a few pence you can buy a postcard, for a few pounds a greetings card, poster, collectable mug, cushion, lamp or t-shirt. The first Rockarchive Magazine is also available, numbered and embossed in an edition of just 1000. Many of these items will be available online in early December.

As part of the 10-year celebrations, Rockarchive is also making available a few selected A3 images, signed, numbered and embossed, at the original price they were when we began selling prints. Grab them while you can! Whether you are buying a custom size print for your company's reception area, a silver gelatin print for your special collection or a digital fine art print because you love the band, your Rockarchive print will be one investment you will never regret. All Rockarchive prints have a seal of approval from the Fine Art Trade Guild .

UK Border Agency: New Duty-Free Allowances

As of December 1 2008, travellers returning to the UK from outside the European Union will be able to bring back double the amount of wine, electrical goods and souvenirs before tax.

New EU regulations, changed for the first time in 15 years, mean that travellers can bring four litres of wine (up from two) duty-free and the allowance for other goods, including electrical products and souvenirs, is increased to £300 (from £145). This will increase again to £340 from January 2009 because of the falling value of the pound.

Other changes include a new allowance of 16 litres of beer, restrictions on volume of fragrance removed, a new option to mix and match on tobacco products and a new option to mix and match on alcohol products.

Antarctic and Latin America Cruises - Which Operator?

Major cruising programmes around Central and South America are offered by such companies as Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean - two of the biggest names in cruise holidays.

Among the fine offerings of Princess Cruises, are several itineraries which sail up the Amazon river. Royal Caribbean meanwhile, has three, four and six-night cruises around Brazil for those who want to mix their cruise with extended hotel stays at other locations, including of course, Rio. They also offer longer cruise itneraries, in tandem with sister company Celebrity Cruises , including 14-night trips.

It is possible in many cases, to embark from US ports, while others start off from major South American cities such Buenos Aires, Santiago and Rio.

What are the main attractions for such cruises? Well, amongst the huge diversity of this continent, you can focus on the cosmopolitan excitement of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, or fabulous natural wonders such as the Galapagos islands, Chilean fjords and the Andes.

Meanwhile, for the adventurous, and those looking for an ultimate cruise experience, there can be fewer destinations than the Antarctic to conjure up intrigue and excitement.

Most commercial trips to Antarctica start from the southern Argentine port of Ushuaia, and many niche operators such as Swan Hellenic, Voyages of Discovery and Hurtigruten offer expedition-style Antarctica programmes. Upmarket lines such as Regent Seven Seas and Silversea Cruises also offer breathtaking itineraries and a high degree of care.
